About this bottle
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is the youngest whisky in Ardbeg's core range, a heavily peated Islay single malt aged just five years in a mix of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. The short maturation keeps the peat smoke aggressive and unrefined compared to the older 10 Year, while the sherry cask adds a touch of dark fruit sweetness. Expect intense smoke, tar, and citrus on the nose, a full, spicy palate with dark chocolate and pepper, and a long, smoky finish. Bottled at 47.4% ABV, it's built as a punchy, affordable introduction to Ardbeg's house style for peat lovers who want it young and aggressive.
How to drink Ardbeg Wee Beastie
Add a splash of water to tame the young peat slightly and let the sherry sweetness show through. Neat also works if you want the smoke unfiltered.
